Home(base) away from home
The central point for your ViennaUP networking
ViennaUP is spread across the city, but after a full day on your feet, there’s no better place to unwind than the Homebase - your central spot to relax, reconnect, and soak up the vibes.
More than just an info point, it’s an outdoor hangout and easy meeting spot with the stunning Karlskirche and impressive Wien Museum as your backdrop. Settle into leisurely seating under shady trees and enjoy this little oasis in the heart of the city.
Right on Karlsplatz, the Homebase is easy to reach by public transport and full of energy. With a ViennaUP wristband, you can sample top-notch Viennese wine and delicacies while enjoying a diverse lineup of music and events that capture the city’s spirit: vibrant, forward-thinking, and steeped in tradition.
